Vampire Biter

As a parent, you have every right to
be furious if your child has been attacked by a vampire child. It hurts your child and they do not
understand why this happened. Whether your
child attends child care, public school, private school or is just playing
outside, they can be the victim of a vampire biter.

Ask yourself the following questions
and see if you can see consistent times or reasons why the biting occurred:

*Was the vampire biter – frustrated,
tired, teething, crowded, being a bully, hungry, not wanting to share, bored,
not disciplined and finally, at what time did the bite occur?

*Was the victim – crying a lot and
making the biter anxious, not disciplined or trying to take the biter’s toy or food?

Remember bites are usually from toddlers
(12 months – 23 months) or two year olds.
They have not yet developed good speaking or communication skills. Eventually, they will achieve these and the
vampires die out. The biter could just
need pain reliever for teething, a nap, something crunchy to chew on, more
space, or some good discipline. The
victim may need social skills, learn how to share, or not be a bully.

Communication is the key. Talk with the caregiver or parent of the
biter, and let them know you need help. Always
give the victim love and affection after the bite. Remember, the victim could be the next
vampire biter. There is hope. Normally biting goes away as fast as it came.
